Strong's Lexicon tsippar: Bird, sparrow Original Word: צְפַר Word Origin: From the root צָפַר (tsaphar), which means "to skip about" or "to chirp." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4765 (στρουθίον, strouthion): Refers to a small bird or sparrow, used in the New Testament to convey similar themes of God's care and provision (e.g., Matthew 10:29). Usage: The Hebrew word "tsippor" generally refers to small birds, often sparrows, in the Old Testament. It is used to denote birds in a general sense, emphasizing their small size and often their chirping or fluttering nature. The term is used in various contexts, from sacrificial laws to poetic imagery, highlighting the commonness and simplicity of these creatures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, birds were a common part of the natural landscape and held various symbolic meanings. Sparrows, in particular, were seen as insignificant due to their abundance and small size. However, they were also part of the sacrificial system, as seen in Levitical laws, where birds could be offered by those who could not afford larger animals. This reflects the accessibility of worship and atonement for all social classes in Israelite society.
